    Got a beautiful delivery of 3 dozen roses Feb 13 around 630-7p What I appreciated was the fact that even though I wasn't home to receive the delivery, the delivery guy left me a phone message saying that he left a delivery on my front porch on the small table. Otherwise, I don't think I would have known about the delivery. The roses were beautiful and you could tell the quality was quite nice. Not sure how much the roses cost but I don't think they were cheap :( But honestly, the better the roses, the longer they last (have you ever noticed how quickly supermarket roses die??). Anyhow, these roses lasted a good week or so. They had a great life - every time I saw the flowers in my kitchen, I couldn't help but smile.

    lovely bouquets

    Such a charming, family-run florist in North County San Diego! Exceptional service and thoughtful arrangements using such unique flowers as Rose Lily or King Protea. Matteson's is happy to create something special for you at a fair price and specializes in weddings and events. They can even expedite last minute orders! Experience the 'ooh and ahh' for yourself!

    No stinting on the orchids!

    I received a voicemail letting me know that a floral delivery had been made at my front door. The gentleman who left the message sounded tickled fushia - I don't know if it was because of my profusion of gnomes or that he was happy to be the bearer of glad tidings. Who doesn't love receiving flowers? Well, he had good reason to sound pleased, because he was representing a quality product. They used some really specimen flowers in rare hues, and not a leaf of cheap filler. The occasion for the flowers was a sad one, but I'm glad to know of a good florist nearby.

    I received anniversary flowers from my husband. Let me say I love that my hubby did that! However, the arrangement was very disjointed...not arranged in any particular way so every side of the arrangement looked different! You can see the photos for yourself :) you will see that one side of the arrangement needs to be in a corner :) this arrangement could not be on a table! Very disappointed..:especially after what my hubby told me he paid!!

    Dozen roses for $9.99

    Service: very good service here. They showed me the wide variety of flowers they have. All of them looked very fresh and colorful. They answered all of the questions I had. Parking: small little lot that is hard to back out of to get back to the main road. There are signs posted to guide you to this place. Product: large variety of flowers. They do everything that any other flower shop does. They accept credit or debit, but charge $.75 for anything less than $10. I bought a dozen beautiful long stem roses for $9.99. Atmosphere: flowers of all types everywhere!!

    Sorry looking birthday flowers. :( not worth the $80

    My husband sent me flowers for my birthday. Wasn't that so sweet. I received them mid morning and only of a few flowers looked fresh. Most look like they were on their last leg. Ok, the really sad part is that he paid $80, for my sad little vase of flowers. I am adding picture also. Don't waste your money!!!

    Amazing bouquet delivered faster than expected same day to a longtime business friend. Wow.

    The bouquet of long stemmed red roses with pine needle sprigs and foliage was beautiful when delivered on a Friday night, but by Monday they were drooping and the petals were turning black. The roses never opened up! I emailed Mattesons and they said they would call to discuss but I haven't heard anything. Really disappointed since my husband spent a good amount of money to surprise me, and it was a really special night for us. This photo was taken on Monday night, 3 days after delivery. ----------------------- 12/28/17: I'm updating my review to reflect the great customer service I received after the florist did call me to apologize for the flowers and replace them with a new bouquet. The new one is the exact same, and the roses are very much thriving and getting ready to open up and it's been 5 days! Thank you again for replacing them, and having them delivered. I'm enjoying them very much.

    By far the most stunning lilies I have ever seen! And they lasted forever!

    I have had the privilege of getting flowers from Matteson's a few times and they have always been absolutely gorgeous! This is the best florist in Encinitas in my opinion. The last ones I got were BY FAR the prettiest lilies I have ever seen and lasted almost 2 weeks and they smelled heavenly! They put a smile on my face every time I looked at them. Leah and the other floral designers are great about creating what you want too, that is a big plus! Love Matteson's!

    What you receive versus what you order. Not even close. Arrangement title "Tropical Sunset"...you tell me "tropical" pink and red roses are
    Jeff B.

    The arrangement that was delivered looked nothing like what I ordered. We're not talking substitution of one flower or anything like that, we're talking a completely different arrangement. Arrangement was titled "Tropical Sunset" and included dark magenta and shades of orange...I received none of that. What was delivered was baby pink and red roses. You absolutely ruined my Valentine's Day. Livid right now.

    See all

I wanted to take the time to write this review because as I remember looking back on my wedding day what I had fond memories of as the day itself becomes so chaotic when you're the one getting married. And to this day I remember how beautiful my flowers were, Julie's kindness and how happy I was looking back at the decor and flowers! From start to finish I have nothing but praises for her and her work as a florist and also her kindness as well. I had a wedding budget that she worked with and she made my wedding floral dreams come true even with the limitations that I had. At times she also was able to help me on candles and other things to her expertise that I had no idea about and gave her best recommendations and for that I'm so so thankful. Always replied to every message, prompt and so helpful in many ways. So easy to work with. I had a vision and some specifics which she just understood, and florals looks so modern beautiful and just natural. Placement was so pretty and she added all these little touches throughout my venue that made it so pretty and elegant as well. Her ikebanas and floral choice for the table and bouquet were so gorgeous and she is such an expert at what she does. I loved my table layout the most and how the florals were laid out. I highly recommend Julie, she's so amazing! Thank you again for your beautiful work and your craft as a floral artist!

    Great flowers. I ordered an arrangement for my wife's birthday and they turned out wonderful.read more

    Everything until day of delivery was great. Website was easy to navigate as well. I found out via…read moreemail the morning of delivery, that apparently Chula Vista is not within the scope of delivery for the flower shop, as it's too far. This was not indicated at all during the order process so was very off putting to hear day of for a Mother's Day arrangement. I am currently out of state for work and an unknown number was calling my cellphone, it was the delivery driver from a trusted florist that was sublet to take care of my order. The driver was going to deliver to the wrong address even though she read the proper address back to me over the phone. I spent about 10-15 minutes on the phone walking her through finding the location of our home and verified delivery via camera and doorbell. When you're paying a premium price to have something done properly and this is the outcome, it was extremely disappointing. I will not be using four seasons flowers for any special occasion again, big let down on many levels. 5-10-2026: To the owner of the shop that just replied back to my review. I am not sure how much more clear I can make this to you, the CORRECT address was provided and everything was filled out appropriately on my end, I am not understanding why you are harping on the fact that this was an online order, if your operation doesn't have the capacity to accommodate this then don't offer it as a service. There is absolutely NO difference in placing an order in person, over the phone and or online. The "trusted" florist you decided to pawn this order off on still attempted to deliver to the WRONG address. Nothing about this was as a success and I cannot believe you have the audacity in a public platform to try and deflect the way that you are. I spent 10-15 minutes on the phone with an elderly delivery driver explaining to her very kindly, that wherever she was going was not the correct address, I am struggling to understand what about this are you not understanding? I am absolutely flabbergasted that instead of reaching back out in attempt to correct the issues, especially in a review, this is your stance. Your address is irrelevant when you're listed as one of the top rated florists in San Diego, if you didn't know, Chula Vista is 100% part of the city. Adding photos for context, maybe you want to rethink your "trusted" partnership approach. Pretty ridiculous again your take on things. Will NEVER be using your shop again and will be sure to spread the word to friends and family to steer clear of your establishment! Very funny that the florist is claiming this is the first email they received, my first communication to them was not the one they decided to include in their review, don't believe everything you read. The owner is incredibly defensive and does all that she can to deflect and spin any negative review to benefit her operation. Go and check yelp and google and get a kick out of it if you have time. The only thing good that came of this after airing things out publicly was a refund.
